Powering off Equipment-Silly question

Hello

Is there any difference between powering off an amp by pulling the cord out of the wall vs hitting the Off Button?

I ask, because my amp has a wood face plate and due to the cold weather it has swelled to the point where the power button is stuck and will not release.

Will any harm be done by pulling the power cord out of the wall? I would think that both pretty much do the same thing,, ie, cut of AC to the unit.. however given the choice, (which I do not have) it is advisable to use the power switch.

thanks for the responses, the person I bought it from emailed me the solution, however the Power Button actually popped out on its own sometime this afternoon.

Sean, I do not leave the amp on, the tubes are mucho expensive, and the amp draws lots of power....you and I live in Northern Cal, PGE prices makes sure it is prohibitive to keep amps on 24/7....have you moved yet?, that may answer it...
BigJoe, LOL, living in Sunny CAL, but those wavacs use some exotic woods..
